He exhibited at the Salon Paris, from 1861 onwards. Museums: Bordeaux
(Museum des Beaux-Arts), Paris (Comedie Francaise), Perigueux, Le Bain,
Pontoise. He contrived to support himself while studying at the Ecole
des Beaux Arts by painting on tea-caddies and cheap fancy boxes for the
holiday season, until in 1868 he won at medal at the Salon, when his
prospects improved. He was again medalled in 1870 and 1872, and in 1878
won another badge of distinction at the Exposition Universelle. His
"Spring" is an excellent example of his sound and conscientious art.
